While rooted, I tried both Wireless Tether and Barnacle. With both, I was directed to the Verizon page trying to get me to sign up for a pay service for wireless tethering. I did NOT try to hack the radio as this is beyond my expertise.
I went to USB-tethering using Easy Tether. I also tried PDANet, USB tether, and it also worked.
Quick note. When I tether with this same app on my other phone it shows up as a wifi network. Now when I do it with my D3 it shows up as a "device" I can connect to. Not sure if that makes a difference but I wanted to mention it.
Also, when I activate the tethering it appears I no longer have a 3G connection until I reboot the phone. Making calls still works but gmail doesn't update and I can't go to any web page but the Verizon hotpsot signup page.
Here's what I got back with those 3 lines

I've got the Wireless Tether version which doesn't show up in Market for even updates, as well it simulates a router unlike previous versions. The only problem is that for some reason it now gets extremely slow when I tether and I've been forced lately to use PDAnet, which sucks because it doesn't worj with my PS3
OK, I'm sorry, but this really looks we are on a dead-end. It seems Motorola / Verizon did it otherwise, not the way I expected or hoped. Thanks for your assistance. I'm sorry again, I really hoped we could find it out, but right now I have no idea anymore.
